Alum photo op: Ryan and Turner at Adrian

We love to get updates from our graduates about their adventures beyond OHA. Here are Kaitlyn Ryan (left: class of 2012) and Lauren Turner (right: class of 2010) who are now students at Adrian College. Good luck this year, ladies, in the classroom and on the ice. Hope to see you at the Alum events this spring 2013.

Alcalde and Lovell are now Mooseheads

It's fun to keep up with news about former OHA Mavericks. These two fellows, Liam Alcalde and Brian Lovell, are now Mooseheads.

This is the text from the article about Liam's first goal with the team:

"Liam Alcalde won't soon forget his first goal in a Mooseheads uniform.

The 17yr old rookie scored on a penalty shot with under 3 minutes to play to give the Mooseheads a 3-2 in Sydney Sunday.  The Herd opened the scoring with Mike Molloy burying his first of the pre-season with assists going to Brian Lovell and Alexander Scully.  Cape Breton would jump out to a 2-1 lead heading into the 3rd period despite the Moose holding a 20-13 shot advantage after 40 minutes.  Ontario free agent defenceman Randy Gazolla tied the game a 2 in the third before Alcalde scored the winner on the shorthanded penalty shot.  Jason Ellis picked up the win stopping all 8 shots he faced in the 2nd half of the game. Marc-Olivier Daigle stopped 10 of 12 through the first half of the contest.  The Herd outshot the Eagles 28-20.

The Mooseheads veterans will report to camp Monday.  The next home preseason game for the Moose is next Saturday, August 25th when the Herd travel to Acadia Alumni Arena in Wolfville to renew their rivalry with the Moncton Wildcats at 7pm.  Tickets are available at the Acadia Alumni Arena Box Office."

Welcome to the fall 2012 season: kids from near and far

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Fall 2012/13 year at OHA. We are so happy to have all of the new and returning students here with us. This year, we have lots of students with us from outside Canada. Russia, Ukraine, Norway, Argentina, England... It is very exciting to be around all of these interesting people. I wanted to start this year's blog by sharing a story from the "home town paper" for a couple new players, Robin Schütz und Niklas Lahme, from Germany. They are very proud to have these boys here and we are happy to have them:


Here is the link to their story...

There have been many wonderful improvements to the facilities over the summer. We also have some new staff. I will put up some posts ASAP describing all of these changes.
